Alternator Rebuild /High Performance links
Molly:I had my Toyota 3.0 Alternator rebuilt by Boyles Future Tech in California. My output at Idle went from 60 amp to 110 amp (Which was great with the winch, PIA's and rock lights) The cost 3 years ago was about $120, it is probably more now but Many Toyota folks have used them and I am pretty sure they do other brands.

Fiberglass Body Parts :Chevy, Ford, Yota, more
Here are sources for fiberglass hoods, fenders, bedsides, etc for a good range of makes, models and years. These are something to consider as many times you will find that the fiberglass replacement panels are only slightly more than the extended flares like Bushwacker makes. This is what prompted me to get the fiberglass hood, fenders and bedsides on my heap, but I got them from Hannemann Fiberglass. I will never deal with Hannemann Fiberglass again as they are complete asses, treated me like I was dirt, and it took 2 months for me to get them from Cali.
I do like the fiberglass though.

Toyota Clutch Bleeding:
Clutch Master by RocKrawler
Clutch Master Cylinder Bleeding Instructions
I had a ***** of a time when I replaced my clutch master trying to get the darn thing bled. No matter how much I bled it, the pedal was still a sponge. After placing a call to a buddy who works at a Toyota wrecking yard, his mechanic gave me this quick tip and it worked perfect the first time, even if you didnt bench bleed it before bolting it up to the firewall:
1.) Adjust the bracket that pins to the clutch pedal so that it has about 1/4" free play
2.) Fill the Clutch Master cyl reservoir ( duh )
3.) Open the bleeder valve at the slave cylinder ( on the bellhousing for newbies, pass side, follow the hydraulic line from the clutch master down, you'll see it ) and without pumping the pedal, just let it drain until the reservoir is about 1/2 empty.
4.) Close the bleeder and fill the reservoir
5.) Have someone pump the clutch 5 times and hold, open the bleeder at the slave & bleed the system, closing the valve before fluid flow stops ( again for newbies )
6.) Repeat step 5 until there is no more air bubbles when you bleed the system.
If you followed the directions, you should have noticeable clutch within 3 bleeding cycles, and be done within 6 cycles, whether or not you bench bled the clutch master before installing.
